set the exitLock = true
By convention, disabling of command-Q should generally be restricted to kiosks and similar applications where you want to prevent the public from getting at the host machine. For consumer products, preventing people from quitting by the standard means tends to only piss them off.
The exitlock does provide a useful way of trapping direct quitting if you
need to do additional cleaning up first, but you should still quit once
that's taken care of (listen to me, I sound like the Apple Thought Police).
To trap for command-Q you can use the exitlock in conjuction with a keyDown
script like this:
on keyDown
if the key = "Q" and the commandDown then
cleanMeUp
quit
end if
end keyDown
When referring to movies in your Lingo code, if you leave the extension off Director will match the same name against both .DIR and .DXR extensions, so that you don't have to rejig your code to match the new names when you finalize and protect your movies.
ie, if your code says:
set the filename of myWindow = "diddums.dir"
set the filename of myWindow = "diddums.dxr"
set the filename of myWindow = "diddums"
